Emily's 10th Birthday!

It seems impossible that our oldest child could already be 10, but she is!!! Emily turned 10 on October 28th and we love this beautiful girl more and more every day. Emily takes such good care of all of her younger siblings and is such a big help to have around. I have had several moms tell me that they wish they could take Emily home with them, because she is so good with little kids and is such a pleasure to be around. She is very aware of others around her and tries to make sure they are happy and taken care of.



She works really hard in school and her teachers have always loved having Emily in their classes. She still keeps in contact with her teachers from Greensview Elementary in Ohio. She works hard at soccer, basketball, dance, swimming and art classes. She is a good friend to everyone at school and goes out of her way to play with a special needs girl in her class. She is always ready to stand up for what's right and be an example to those around her. She continues to make us all very proud!



We love you deeply Emily and couldn't be more thrilled with the wonderful girl you are! Thank you for being such an important part of our family! We can't imagine our lives without you!
